    HPN (Westchester) to SDQ, with a stop in Florida, is $386 round-trip jetBlue (17,200 points), for some dates in January and February.

    United wants about 35,000 miles for a round-trip, EWR (Newark) to SDQ ($382 round trip, EWR to SDQ some dates in January, direct).

    Delta, JFK to SDQ, direct, some dates in January, $370 round trip.

    "Fly-Fi is now available on a very limited number of JetBlue aircraft, and we're working hard to install this new service across our fleet as quickly as possible. While we're in our beta period, our basic web browsing plan, Simply Surf, will be free on flights through June 2014 with a high-bandwidth plan available for purchase."

    List of flights with wifi, posted the day before the flight: http://blog.jetblue.com/index.php/fly-fi-routes/

    Koki lives in Miami and is always telling me to check out that flight. He also has put a lot of effort into showing me how to get around on the Miami Metro, which is similar to the Medellin metro. An added plus is that the Metro passes in front of the Miami VA Hospital.

    It's a lot cheaper than Miami, that's for sure. I just got my Global Entry approved a couple of weeks ago, so I may start hopping up to Miami a little more frequently in the future.

    Tr-Rail seems to start at 4AM, the trip seems to be less than an hour, cost probably under $7 each way. Spirit I saw on Kayak had FLL to SDQ for around $228. Koki knows South Florida and the Dom. Rep., very well (expert).

    Jetblue has direct flights from JFK to LRM, in March and April, 2014, one way fare $155 (includes all taxes and fees). Delta has flights in March and April from SDQ to HPN (Westchester, N.Y.) for around $206. Metro North train station in White Plains, shouldn't be too far from HPN Airport.

    JetBlue Price Drop Refunds

    From Airfarewatchdog.com

    "Q. I recently purchased tickets to Puerto Rico for June on JetBlue. I kept waiting and watching for a great sale price but was afraid prices would go up, and I finally purchased my tickets which were $360 each. The very next day you guys posted the sale price at $295. Is there any way I can call the airline and have them refund my money or give me the balance from my purchase?

    A. All airlines used to offer fee-free price drop refunds, but that was eons ago. Now only Alaska, Southwest, and JetBlue do, in the form of a travel credit. The only catch is that the lower fare must be valid on the exact same flight, and same dates originally booked. You can call 1-800-JETBLUE and get a credit for the fare difference applied to your account, valid for travel for up to one year.

    By the way, this also applies to JetBlue points if the points needed have somehow gone down."

    American Airlines new checked baggage fee is just utter ridiculous! $25 extra for your first checked bag on an international flight????? Who does that?

    I'd rather put that in a chica's pocket for the great service she provided!

    BASTARDS!!!!!
    It's always happy hour somewhere in the world...
